I've received refunds for both of my orders that were overcharged at checkout.

I got refunded from PayPal £10

Shower of c*** to deal with

Still waiting on 2 orders

Eh, I can see a way they might be able to bypass your cunning plan :pac:

The 2 Sonoff devices for Kid's Wifi Access Point/Xbox are connected to a separate Secure 24/7 WiFi Network.

Both Sonoff Plugs are located out of reach to everyone except me, They are in a locked cabinet.

I sent screenshots of the amount on the Pay Now page vs the amount that I was charged, so PayPal really had to rule in my favour. Won't be ordering from Dresslily again,though.

I didn't have screenshots but got refunded

I doubt PayPal will be happy with their shenanigans, moving customers off the PayPal page and charging twice the amount on the final payment page.

Seriously dodgy

I had no issues with my 2 orders via paypal , I got 6 plugs costing less than 40 euro in total.

Mr E

Got my 3 plugs today (ordered on September 2nd).

vectra

Got my last 3 today
Thats 8 in total. Think I should have enough now

5. Kid's XBox , The Schedules are controlled to great effect using a Sonoff Plug.

Surely you're better off using Xbox parental controls than potentially killing power to an Xbox when it could be in the middle of saving or something?

I don't think the Xbox one has much in the way of parental controls for timing sessions?
The older Xbox 360 had more.
I'll use it for this purpose also

Could not care less about the Xbox , If it fails I will buy another one - The most important thing is I have 3 children and Monday to Friday they have 2 hours to share access to the Xbox (6.30 PM to 8.30 PM),
The Wifi is only on from 6.00 PM to 8.30 PM ,

We are into week 3 of this and it is working a dream , No rushing of Homework as they know the have to wait until 6.00 PM for wifi and 6.30pm for Xbox , Kids are spending more time reading/playing and chatting with us parents.

You just set times it can be used between each day, along with a limit on how much time it can be used per day.

The smart switch solution will work until the kids figure out how to get around it. My kids already know how to manually switch the switches, so wouldn't work for me.

I notice with mine that the dedicated app always works, but sometimes google home can't connect to it. So instead of talking to my phone I have to push an onscreen button like some class of a philistine.

The crucial Switches in my House (Kid's Wireless access point & Xbox ) Are located in a locked Cabinet in the Playroom. There is no way to get at them.

Another option is to set internet access times to the devices on the router/modem.

Where are these being shipped from?

Will they attract VAT charges if over the threshold?

Just thought I would throw it out there... this is the only out of the ordinary purchase I have made recently but last week was the victim of credit card fraud. Looks like the purchases were with a company/website based in Hong Kong. Interested to see if anyone else has noticed any suspicious activity.

I got a notification that DPD have something for me, so fingers crossed.

I can't think what else I've ordered now. I like surprises though.

Me too, both parcels a week apart. (Both arrived on a Monday incidentally, both times along with other packages from China)

Final 3 arrived today, ordered Sept 3rd.
Way faster than previous orders from Ali.

Got my 4 plugs today, thanks OP. Would it be a complete No-No to use one of the plugs to turn on my washing machine?

I can tell you one thing

I wouldn't trust this company as far as I could throw them based on my experience of 3 orders and dealing with them.
